Get ready for some major daytime TV shakeups! ITV's beloved morning shows are undergoing some significant changes, and we've got all the juicy details for you.
First, let's talk about the beloved Lorraine Kelly and her heartfelt reaction to a co-star's departure. Lorraine was visibly upset as she broke the news live on air, admitting, "I can't bear it." She revealed that Tyler West, the charming presenter of the entertainment news segment, was leaving the Lorraine show to take on a new role as the KISS FM Breakfast host alongside Love Island's Chloe Burrows. Tyler's departure leaves a void, as Lorraine expressed how much she'll miss him. But here's where it gets controversial... Tyler assured Lorraine that he'd be back!
We previously reported that Vogue Williams, fresh from her I'm A Celeb stint, will be stepping into Tyler's shoes. Vogue herself announced the news on her podcast, "My Therapist Ghosted Me," expressing her excitement about reporting entertainment news on Lorraine every Wednesday. Her co-host, Joanne McNally, praised it as a "good move" for Vogue.
Now, let's dive into the bigger picture. These changes are part of a larger overhaul of ITV's daytime TV schedule. Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes, running from 6 am to 9:30 am daily. Lorraine's show will air from 9:30 am to 10 am, but only on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is absent, Good Morning Britain will fill the gap, running from 6 am to 10 am. This Morning retains its weekday slot from 10 am to 12:30 pm, while Loose Women will air from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, also on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks. These changes will take effect from January 2026.
But wait, there's more! Tyler's departure coincides with even bigger changes to the Lorraine show. From January, the show will be reduced to 30-minute episodes and will only air seasonally. And in a surprising twist, Lorraine herself was temporarily replaced as host by Christine Lampard last week. This switch-up came after the tragic passing of Lorraine's father, John Kelly, aged 84, following an "ice fall tragedy" in a Scottish town.
So, what do you think about these daytime TV shakeups? Are you excited for the new hosts and schedule changes? Or do you prefer the old lineup? Let us know in the comments! We'd love to hear your thoughts and spark a discussion about these controversial moves.
